EDITORS COMMENTS
"This double page spread from the October 20, 1946 issue of The Illustrated London News captures two significant events in the lives of the British royal family. The top photographs show Princess Elizabeth, in her role as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, carrying out an inspection of members of the regiment after a service at Wellington Barracks. The future Queen is seen in her military uniform, reviewing her troops with a serious expression and a saluting soldier in the background. Below, the focus shifts to a joyful occasion as Princess Elizabeth's lady-in-waiting, Mrs. Vicary Gibbs, marries the Princess's cousin, the Hon. Andrew Elphinstone. The wedding took place in 1946 and was attended by several members of the royal family, including Queen Mary, King of the Hellenes, and Prince Philip of Greece. The future Duke of Edinburgh is seen standing next to the bride, wearing his naval uniform and looking dapper. Princess Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, serves as a bridesmaid for her cousin's wedding. The happy couple exchanges vows in the presence of their loved ones, marking the beginning of their new life together." This double page spread from The Illustrated London News offers a glimpse into the personal lives of the British royal family during a time of transition. The images capture the seriousness of the Princess's role as a military leader and the joy and celebration of a royal wedding. The presence of future monarchs and consorts adds an extra layer of significance to these events, making this a fascinating historical record.
